In this episode of The Marketing Front Lines, we speak with Michael Passanante, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Capital Rx. Capital Rx operates as both a full-service pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) and a SaaS technology provider, serving self-insured employers and health plans in the complex healthcare ecosystem. Michael shares his approach to navigating the unique challenges of healthcare B2B marketing, where buying cycles stretch across years and the majority of prospects aren't actively in market at any given time.
Topics Discussed:
- Building attribution models for long-tail B2B sales cycles
- Creating content strategies that work across dual business models
- Leveraging podcasts as SME content creation engines
- Scaling marketing teams with non-traditional talent
- Adapting to AI-driven changes in healthcare marketing
- Managing marketing operations with security constraints
